Universities should treat AI literacy as continuing education, not a skill students acquire once before graduation, argues Jerry Balentine, president of the New York Institute of Technology.

In an opinion piece for Fox News, Balentine proposes short courses, stackable certificates, alumni refreshers, community workshops and employer partnerships. He argues that using AI well means knowing what to ask, when its answers may be unreliable and when to seek independent checks or expert advice. It’s a practical case for lifelong learning, though a university programme cannot make every AI answer trustworthy.

Discuss: Should universities take responsibility for teaching AI literacy throughout people’s lives, or should that job sit with employers and the technology companies?
